Twitter says President Donald Trump has violated its rule against glorifying violence and has affixed a warning label to one of his tweets — the first time such action has been taken against the president's account

The social media platform is using what it calls a"public interest notice" to flag the president's incendiary post about the protests and violence in Minneapolis, Minnesota.This means the tweet will not be removed, but will be hidden behind a notice that says"this Tweet violated the Twitter Rules about glorifying violence. However, Twitter has determined that it may be in the public's interest for the Tweet to remain accessible.

The post in question was about a third night of protests following the death of George Floyd, a black man who was filmed on video saying that he could not breathe as a white police officer used his knee to pin Floyd down. As cable news networks carried images of fires and destructive protests in Minneapolis, the president tweeted at 12:53 a.m. ET:"these THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won't let that happen.

Twitter Flags Donald Trump ‘Looting, Shooting’ Tweet As “Glorifying Violence”Twitter has hidden a tweet by U.S. President Donald Trump because the platform says “it violated the Twitter Rules about glorifying violence”. Users can still view the tweet by clicking… Great click bait.... You almost had me convinced that you cared. Because it is. He is the cause of the increase in hate crimes. Doesn't really help their case when it comes to political bias which Trump accused them of. Given video footage of a man being murdered is on Twitter this is pretty pathetic.
